[sdiy] Viscount C120 Organ

>the moto that drives the leslie.
Cool! Leslies are the answer to a remark posted here this weekend:
Overtones that stay the same are dull. A leslie is one of the greatest
overtone shifters. The leslie is what got me into organs, and from there I
went into synths.

>But, i can get only the top manual to make sounds.
So all twelve oscillators work.
>The second, bottom
>keyboard does only sporadically sound. Even if it does, the tones are

These tones are derived from the same oscillators, so probably
it's the keycontachts that have oxidized. Any contactspray will do.
But as it's so big, a good manual cleaning will be better.

>There is a reverb tank inside the orgen, but it does not work.
Put yr ear to it, and check weather it gets input: audible!
If it does, it's the amp on the output.
Or, considered the dusty state of yr organ (the musical intrument that is)
it might as well simply be the switch to the reverb.

>Can anybody direct me to a place where i could find the schematics for it ?
>It is built in 1972 (so tells the inspection sticker inside), and the viscount
>web page does not even mention it.
They probably want to loose the dusty image themselves.
